Seminário Internacional de Desenvolvimento de Carreira e Aconselhamento

With great pleasure, we extend an invitation to the scientific community and other professionals with an interest in the field of Vocational Psychology and Career Development to participate in the V Seminário Internacional de Desenvolvimento de Carreira e Aconselhamento, focusing on the themes of 'Health, Career, and Prosperity in an Era of Human Rights.'

This 5th edition of the Seminar will take place on November 28th and 29th, 2024, at the School of Psychology, University of Minho, in Braga.

During this seminar, our goal is to explore the contributions of Vocational Psychology and Career Development, as well as related areas, to a career construction process aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established in the 2030 Agenda by the United Nations General Assembly. Given the current ideological, sociopolitical, environmental, and economic challenges, it is crucial to advocate for the universal dream of a society where the right to health, quality education, and decent work becomes the norm rather than the exception. However, on the journey to this desired condition, several obstacles will be encountered, requiring persistence, adaptability, and integrity in building career paths.

In this context, this edition of the Seminar focuses on disseminating and promoting the exchange of scientific knowledge and evidence-based practices that support solutions for individuals and contexts in preparing and implementing life projects contributing to prosperity in an era of Human Rights.

We look forward to your participation!

Subthemes

The V Seminário Internacional de Desenvolvimento de Carreira e Aconselhamento: “Saúde, Carreira e Prosperidade numa Era de Direitos Humanos” aims to establish itself as a space for sharing and disseminating knowledge, whose content aligns with global goals for sustainable development. Thus, it is understood that academic submissions to the V International Seminar on Career Development and Counseling should be aligned with at least one of the Subthemes.

Subtheme 1: Health, Work, and Prosperity

Papers within this subtheme aim to enhance our understanding of dignified work environments and lives by exploring the intersection of health, well-being, and career development. Topics encompass various aspects such as working conditions, the impact of physical and mental health in work settings (including hybrid work environments), strategies for fostering well-being and resilience, life role management, and the promotion of adaptive work contexts that contribute to a healthy life. Through addressing these subthemes, the Seminar aims to increase awareness of the vital role of Vocational Psychology and Career Development in promoting well-being in work environments, and its interconnectedness with social and economic development. These aspects align with the Sustainable Development Goals "Quality Health" (SDG 3),"Decent Work and Economic Growth" (SDG 8), and "Reduced Inequalities" (SDG 10).

Subtheme 2: Quality Education and Training

Papers within this subtheme aim to delve into the pivotal role of Vocational Psychology and Career Development in fostering inclusive and equitable education across the lifespan. They are expected to explore innovative psychological strategies for counseling students with diverse backgrounds and competencies, helping them in building learning paths that cater totheir individual needs and encourage ongoing learning and fulfillment opportunities.

The topics covered may extend to the rapid changes in the job market, psychological approaches supporting career counseling, continuous learning, and the development of skills necessary to deal with challenges. This includes addressing issues such as equal or unequal opportunities, compensation and career development, role management, and best practices in this domain. Thus, this exploration can contribute to understanding how Vocational Psychology and Career Development play an indispensable role in achieving "Quality Education" (SDG 4) and Gender Equality (SDG 5), and "Reduced Inequalities" (SDG 10), specifically by fostering inclusive and equitable education that facilitateseducational success and continuous skill development throughout life.
